A Lucky Dream.
Philadelphia Telegram.

X lady wo is resident of the intc- rior of Pennsylvania was travelling il, Europe, and while staying in London she dreamed one night that she was visiting prominent points of interest in that city in regular tourist fashion. But wherever she went she was met by peculiar looking man who inva- riably asked her the sainc question Are you ready?" Go where she would and do what she liked, ;n every scene in her dream she met the same man and he always asked her the ever recurring question She was consid- erably impressed by this dream, and she remarked to the lady to whom she related it that she never should forget the face of the man who had so per sistently appeared before her. Time went on. She returned to the United States and went to pay visit to one of the large cities, stopping at the most noted hotel in the place She was lodged in one of the upper floors, and went down to breakfast the morn ing after her arrival. At the conclu- sion of her repast she went to the ele- vator and entered if, with the purpose of returning to her room. She was the only passenger in the elevator. and the man in charge, before starting it, turned to her with the question: "Are you ready!" Struck by those words, she looked at the man and instantly recognized the hero of her dream. She was seized at once with a vague and causeless terror, and cried: Let me out-you must let me out,D The ele- vator being already in motion, no re- lease was possible until they reached the first floor She hurried out of 1t and closed the door, the man started it to descend and instantly the elevator and its unfortunate guide fell with a crash to the cellar. The poor man was instantly killed, and the strange dream had probably saved the dreamer from a similar fate.

DOWN A CREVASSE.
BY LUKE SHARP.

Now" said Dr. Bunts, "Pll tell you what we must have. We don't want a common guide. We want guide with a story. When reach a place ] always look out for some fellow who has had an unusual experience. In such a spot as this there must be doz- ems of men who have had thrilling ex- periences. Right here at the foot oi Mont Blanc there must be men who"
 ''Yes, but look here" interrupted you have to take the guides as they come. I understand there are about two hundred and forty guides in Chamonix, and that the traveller has no choice. They are engaged in rota- tion."
 True" answered the doctor, "but there arc exceptions to the rule. A lady going alone, for instance, has her choice of guides. You can talk Eng fish only, and that at times not un- mixed with slang, so you can choose a guide that talks what you call your language, and as for me I have the privilege of taking any guide 1 wish. :"
 "Why you more than another?"
 Because I am member of the Alpine club.
 The doctor was rather peculiar man. 1 imagine that if it had not been for a misfortune he would have become a noted physician. This mis- fortune was the death of an uncle. who left him a large fortune. Then the doctor gave up practice, gave up his body to travel and his mind to mystical science, as he was pleased to call it. He expected to make some great discoveries in the way of mes merism. Even while he travelled he was continually experimenting with anybody who would allow him to ex- pertinent on him. He said that the great discovery of the present century was electricity, and that the great dis covery of the coming century would be the utilization of that mysterious force of which we get indications in mind reading and that sort of thing. Electricity, he said, was only faintly known at the beginning of the cen tury. while now it is household ne- cessity.
 He certainly did some wonderful things with people in mesmeric trance. He would put a person to sleep and have him actually describe the interior of a house thousands of miles away, known only to one of the auditors. Once the sleeper vividly told how a murder had been done that he had never before heard of. The doctor expects that when he gives the results of his researches in his forthcoming book it will be impossi- ble for any murderer to hide his \ crime.
 When the doctor and I went to the ofiice of the guides to secure our man, the result of the doctors inquiries was that Hcrtzoff was the very man we vanted. Hertzof some years be-

 The Swiss seemed very uneasy for 8 few moments, but at last his stalwart frame appeared to subsiae in his chair, and as the doctors face moved closer to his the guides eyes became fixed and glasSy. It was intensely silent in the room.
 At last the doctor moved his open hands be;ore the guides face, and the disengaged hands of the Swiss fell list lessly to his sides. His eyes closed.

 "Yes," said the guide, hoarsely.
 "No ou took a party across the gla- cier that day, didn't you?"
 No" said the guide. in the same Sepulehral voice.
 What. cried the doctor, in sur prise. Didn't you take party across the glacier and come back by the short cut?"
 No" said the guide.
 sWeren't you and your brother to take party up the glacier that after noon?"
 No" said the guide,
 The doctor was nonpmssed. He i tl l,.,l Ian fal- ln 0nt. ..&l asked me if it was correct.
 "The date is the one he gave us Ask him what he did that day"
 "What did you do that day?"
 "There was not much to do then Chamonix was not much sought There were no accidents for long time. Accidents bring the people My brother Rudolph, he was the clever one of the family. He said we must have an accident. He is the clever one; am the strong one. We went together to the moraine at the foot of the glacier We tried to go up some of the crevasses at the bottom, but the water was too strong At last we found one that was narrow and the current weak. We found we could walk up long distance until it be- came too narrow. He said that would do. Then we broke my alpenstock and I took one piece. He went round to the top of the glacier and sat among the stones until he would blow his horn. He fixed the alpenstock in the crevice. Then he went to the ho- tel and told them he was uneasy about me. When he and the other guide came across the ice they blew their horns and went up the crcvasse and blew mine. After long time the rope came down. tied 1t around me and they pulled me up. When the accident was printed in all the papers all over the world great many peo- pie came to Chamonix."
 The doctor himself seemed in n trance when the guide slowly told how he deed was done. He was amazed and chagrincd, His hero had crumbled.
 What like" said as finished the last of the writing, what I like about this story is the simplicity of diction; the evident truthfulncss and the absence of all brag"
 "Oh, yes" said the doctor, rousing himself up, "of course shall never hear the end of this if it once gets out. All the same, you believed bis story
 uite as much IS l did, alt! ough of course you wouldn't admit that now. :"
 He made few passes and woke the guide up.
